I checked the throttle bodies on my 2007 R1200R yesterday using a Twinmax and found the left cylinder drawing more vacuum than the right. My question is what do I adjust to get them in sync?
Previous models had the big brass adjustment screw.

Thanks!

This may sound like a dumb question but where is the adjustment screw? I have checked mine and the right side body has more vacuum than the left and I need to adjust. I do not see the Big Brass Screw mentioned in the adjustment procedure in the ADVrider.com Hall of Wisdom. Thanks for your help!

Just curious why you installed the Wilbers rather than Ohlins?

I would try some WD-40 before I put any type of solvent on the paint.

I'm curious how everyone first got interested in BMW's? I know they are the best, most comfortable, most reliable and etc. but I would like to know what specific experience made you want a BMW?

Thanks Roger. Will order one.

How do you remove the sparkplug cap on the Hexhead? Do you have to have the special tool that the BMW shop uses?

Looks like a great deal. Only 6800 miles and the extras to boot.

Doug,

Just want to thank you for your work on the site. I have just joined but have already more than re-cooped my money with useful information. Looking forward to many good years here and on my '07 R1200R.

Thanks for the post. Was not aware of this product but will be my replacement when needed.

I have been using an Airhawk for several years. Very pleased with it and had only 1 small leak that was easily repaired with the kit sent with the cushion. The secret is to not overinflate the cushion. I thought the Airhawk was pricey but the Freedon is outrageous.

Very helpful! The thread you referred me to was very interesting as I was familiar with the shift lever adjuster for the GS. Nice to know there are options. I will call Touratech and have them explain "all the components nesessary to lower the brake and shift lever accordingly". Has anyone...

I am going in the opposite direction. I had a 03 R1150RT and loved everything about it. Great wind/weather protection, very comfortable for the wife on pillon and long trips. Had to sell due to back problems and the weight of the RT. I am in the process of getting a 2007 R1200R. You won't be disappo...

I have just purchased a 2007 R1200R on Ebay. Wow, am I excited and especially after reading comments here. My wife and I plan to fly to Washington DC from middle Tennessee in a couple of weeks for pick-up and then take a week or so to return home. It will be our 30 th wedding anniversary celebration...
